Helium skateboard construction features patented air-frame® chambers built inside the deck that add strength while drastically decreasing weight. each of five air-frame® chambers within the boards is hollowed, meaning less wood is used, resulting in the lightest skateboard deck element skateboards has ever released. while weight is significantly reduced, the shape of the air-frame® is engineered to actually increase the strength of the board by distributing the normal stress from skateboarding equally throughout the board. helium boards are manufactured with traditional u.s. hard rock maple; guaranteed to perform and respond just like element featherlight boards.
